  1. Build has entered raging bull mode. TRP have taken charge of the build now and started on the don mega fuel system, within a week it's just all out NASA spec really and not even necessary yet however I'd already forked out the coin (years ago) for plenty of Earls Ultrapro teflon, custom surge tank, custom fuel hat, etc so I went for it. Next up will be to finish the catch can filter, tidy up all the lines, fit oil pressure / 2 x map sensors, then its off to Insight for wiring & flex tune.
  2. Man, I don't think anyone will be getting a samsonas haha.....we all need to keep our jobs first!! Massive layoffs happening in construction industry atm!! I guess when the government cant make their mind up to starting big building projects thats what happens
  3. Have been working two jobs to try & get this puppy on the road. It's looking like I'll get it towed to TRP towards the end of this month. As the focus is a nice streeter / track day machine I do think once tuned it'll be boost limited to conserve gearbox/bottom end.
  4. Wow, that's laggier than my Nismo R1 turbos. I'm hitting 20 pound at 4.5k, this makes my car look like a response monster.
  5. ^ Finally someone that understands this build is being done with F1 technology.
  6. It needs the fuel system that’s what makes the power it has to be delivered efficiently to quench the thirst of the big port head! Already stripped the stock pea shooter hard lines out its time for the Teflon don upspec. Fuel pumps, flex sensor and custom alloy surge and hat all done. Gearbox is the only weak link, if I blow the 6 speed That’ll get turfed for an AL’s RACEGLIDE!!!!!!!!
  7. Bought another Emtron KV8 last weekend LOL. So now it's simply Fuel System, Wiring & Tune to go. Dan, the coilovers are HKS Hipermax III 6kg F/4kg R. The Ohlins in the GTR kill them in every department, but that's comparing apples with oranges really. MLR, no the swaybars aren't adjustable.
  8. Overr the christmas holidays I decided to get stuck in and work on the car. Started off with reinstalling the bonnet & mocking up the front bar. Installed a big spec Cusco Swaybar setup. I was really pedantic on making sure its completely equal each side, so measured off the chassis rails until it was exact (a step most people miss for the front which can be done wrong very easily). Swaybar was installed with the wheels loaded on the ground, and all new OEM endlinks & endlink bushes. Next step was to sort out the interior, so I worked on running all the sensors for the DEFI gauge & the positive battery cable to the boot. Aligned everything real nice & it was back to looking like it'd never been taken out. The engine bay is really starting to come together, the next step is to get the car towed to TRP for another don mega fuel system, then get it wired & Emtron'ed...I'd like to think I'm only a few months away from having the badger up & running.....
  9. Heck my S15 engine/turbo/plumbing setup cost more than quadruple than your budget and it’s just a 4 banger with all the cream in and around it
  10. Budget 80k AUD there is no such thing as building a half spec motor, must be big spec OK . And for all the fruit around it add another 50k onto that for a full package. GTRs are big money so you’ll have to cop it on the chin m8 dont want a hamburger with cheese you want a hamburger with the LOT

  13. I dont think a PPG sequential takes away anything from the GTR as a street car, if anything it really improves it. But obviously a H pattern is cool, but if I was paying more than 10k I wouldnt want the lag between gears that a H pattern inherently provides....
  14. Evan we are lucky to have bought GTRs now as it will be virtually impossible in the near future. The prices will be even more insane than what they are. There is no other car that makes the power the way a GTR does, nor is there a turbo engine that sounds nearly as haunting as the RB26. Not even the 2JZ sounds as good as the RB!!! The skyline GTR was the hero car for the end of an era.
  15. None of my cars will be seeing the track, I'd rather just enjoy the cars every now & then. That's enough for me, I'm not a millionaire to be able to afford track days or risk losing everything. I'll have to assess the gearbox stage carefully. My money can go so much further on travel around South America, so Id rather ignore a gearbox solution as long as possible.
  16. So it's official ....via GT-R Registry R33's have hit six figures + S3 33R Grade 4.5 sold for 95k equivilent to 130kAUD LANDED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is truely a case of demand being major for the gems.
  17. I present to you the EFR7670 Street Drag S15 SPL (formerly the Rising Sun S15 ?). Very thankful to the mechanic/engine builder who got the car to this stage....the amount of thinking that went into this build was huge, and his work really is flawless with meticulous attention to detail. I can't imagine how much I would of been charged if the car was at any big name Sydney workshop. Remainder is interior/bodywork refit, the fuel system, battery relocation cabling, oil catch can push lock drain hose, wiring & ECU. I'll need to somehow sort a custom cap for the radiator breather tank as the one from Sunline Racing doesn't seal properly. The size of that turbo has WARP SPEED written all over it ? #TEAMEFR
  18. I think the key is patience, my search lasted a year and a half. Just keep waiting until you find something you know you'll be 100% happy with...because it seems like you want to hang on to it for a long time. The reality is, it is extremely hard to find a good quality GT-R. They were built for a purpose and most have been driven for that purpose and beyond. There is obviously still a few hidden gems out there but it will take time to find them, and the people who have them probably don't want to sell them! Living the dream? Hmm, I thought I'd feel this way, but the amount of money spent modifying a car leaves a bee sting in your heart LOL. That's why I was glad to find the Prostock R33, it was ALMOST done. Starting a build from stock (Like I did with the S15) is financially wreckless LOL.
